• Why You Should Quit Te...
I'm a first time teacher on the first week of school and already thinking of quitting😂😂😂
How did your first year go? Do you still hate it lol
Have you quit your job? Lol
I'm in your shoes - just completed week 3 of teaching and I want to quit every day.
You should quit. It just gets worse.
First year teacher in month 4. I don't think I'll be returning to any classroom next year
Teaching is too stressful. I was a teacher for fourteen years. I'm glad that I'm no longer in it. My mental and emotional health has improved immensely, and I don't feel stressed like I did teaching. Granted I'm not making the same amount of money, but I'm still able to pay the bills, so the tradeoff is worth it.
Christ Follower in what field did you transition to?
It's a whole different life outside of being a teacher of record with a district, especially in the urban setting.
I quit and my principal offered a long term sub job. Only dropped 10k , the freedom and contentment was worth it
I finally left after 26 years in education. I kept thinking it would get better. It didn't. Of course I had many successes, but it was at the expense of my health and sanity.
cdzlink - I just quit teaching. After ten years. I don't think most people can get what teaching today is like. The expectations for student learning continues to become more rigorous and complex, while the interest and behavior of the students continues to deteriorate. It's a recipe for absolute insanity. And the workload is unbearable. It honestly took my health, as well.
@@nickcarraway3790 I agree it's more competitive subject and harder also student don't show interest.
New generation lot don't give a damn attitude.this from me teaching people in office to do their desk work properly.
There mentality the ones who teaches doesn't get respect but the one who manages them
26 years.....??? Thats a whole career. You should be quitting
New generation doesn't respect people who teach.its the one who is ahead of them get respect and says little
brian boyd quitters hurt the students. It’s not all just the students. It’s administration.
My teacher quit teaching and now works in Hollywood 👏🏻👏🏻
Im quitting in January. Thank you for being honest, I don't have to live in misery
You are absolutely right. If you are not happy you deserve to be. Too many people suffer in silence and are afraid to make a change. Your health and happiness are the most important thing!
Any suggestions on how I can get through these final months until January. I am actually a very good teacher and have won numerous awards and accolades for this title. But I have had it and its affecting my relationship with my daughter
How did it go? I start my last year tomorrow, dont know if I can make it, I want the 12 month pay so I can look for jobs this summer. not sure if thats even a good idea? HELP
I just started my credential program this year. I have no debt, and I have a family who supports my decisions. This whole process of becoming a fully certified teacher is a nightmare. Imagine becoming a circus lion, jumping through all of the hoops, and then the ringmaster adds fire around the hoops, and then adds more rings, and then adds a time limit for completion of the jumps, and so on. After realizing how difficult this career is, and how exhausting the program is, I have a new respect for all new teachers coming in (keep in mind it wasn't always this difficult to become a teacher). For me, it is too much. I'm dropping out in a few weeks, and never looking back.
I made the same decision as you did this semester. I saw how stressful the program was especially with this pandemic going on and teachers teaching online. I realize how hard the teaching career really is. I wanted to become a teacher for the kids because I thought it was just about teaching, but I realize it’s more than that.
After factoring in the extra hours of non-paid work I figured I was only making a little over $11.00 per hour. Why put myself through all the stress for so little money. How much do you really make teaching? Factor in the extra hours of work. My time is worth more than that.
That's a great idea! I bet I make around the same amount lol I'm ALWAYS working. I actually got a sub today just so I could catch up on paperwork.
I only work 8 to 4 M-F. Is it fair to the students? Maybe not. But I refuse to kill myself for kids who barely put in the work.
I also quit teaching 3 years ago and I never looked back! Now I work in the corporate world and the work does not follow me home!!
What is your job name?
This is what I need
Thank you for this video man! I'm in my fourth year of teaching ( I don't know how I made it this far). I will
probably quit this December. You are right. Life is too short to be this miserable. I'm gonna go ahead and start
typing that letter of resignation!!!
I taught high school spanish for one year. I chose not to renew my contract. So i only taught for one year. Yaaaaas, ME!!
Oh my gosh. I'll be a Spanish student teacher in 2 semesters. 😅
I wouldn’t teach for even 5 years with the intent of doing something else later on. There are no new teachers coming out of college. People are not entering the profession. I strongly recommend people not enter the profession even if it is their passion. It is too self sacrificing. I would use my youth to study or do something else worthwhile. Part of the problem is people who have never been educators are deciding our curriculum and or laws that affect us in the classroom.
Man... I just loved your video. This is exactly what I feel teaching English in Brazil. I'm seriously considering doing something else with my life. I sometimes feel stuck in this negative thinking and self-pity. It's getting way harder to get in the classroom... and I feel like I'm not as bright as I used to be... I'm losing not only the passion for teaching but also my self-esteem and I know I got to do something about it. Thanks for the video. Amazing channel. It's good to know there's still something worth it to see on youtube.
I got a MS in Physics and spent 10 years teaching in public community colleges in Southern California. It was a dismal job and the happiest day of my life was when they laid me off due to budget cutbacks from the state. I had a chance to live life as a free person and I took it, and now I'm much happier and making much more money than I did as a teacher.
What do you do now?
There’s a book written by “Professor X” called IN THE BASEMENT OF THE IVORY TOWER which explains how in years of teaching freshman English in community college he never once had a student who actually earned an “A”. In other words the only “A”s he awarded were the result of having curved the grades to make himself look better.
I'd rather be dead than to continue teaching. Does than mean I don't like it?
😂🙊
Sounds a bit extreme
Yes...
i feel like most teachers love the teaching and kids, but its the admin stuff and planning they hate. it really takes up your whole life compared to a lot of jobs.
Yes personally I hate grading and planning (the way my admin wants me to plan). It can quickly pile up from week to week and you wind up spending so much of your time at home prepping, planning, and grading. Its exhausting.
I like teaching, it's parents a lot more than the admin and all the ridiculous rules and red tape.
Sorry but some of the kids can too
@@asmas19 Don't be sorry,... You are absolutely correct.... Kids can be a headache most of the times
Hell nah, it’s these bad af kids
kyle, you just helped me write my resigntion letter after 15 years. thank you, brother bear. xo
I quit teaching. 5 years later, I took another teaching job. The 5 years I was out were the worst years of my life. Don’t quit unless you have a BETTER job. I quit because I hated teaching; but, when I returned I LOVED it. Sometimes it’s not teaching that’s the problem, it’s the particular school you are teaching in!
I switched schools. Seems like the pressure keeps increasing, no matter where I go. I think partly it might be my mental health. I love teaching. I am going to take a leave of absence, keep the door open, but I need a break. Maybe that break was just what you needed to realize while it is hard, it is worth it.
I feel like this is my issue. I hate teaching but I think it's more that I hate my district. Feeling super conflicted and stuck.
"It's the particular school in which you are teaching" would be correct. You must be a terrible teacher!
Students need teachers. I am grateful for all the teachers who educated me.
Students need parents more.
@@courtneyj.4043 they need both. Especially the Frye if the student is neglected than the child looks up the o the teacher.
@@norseczar27 I agree that they need both! However, in spite of what a child experiences at home, such as neglect or abuse, that does not change the fact that the adult (s) that child longs for, look to, and need attention and love from is the PARENT(s). As a teacher, I see how the responsibility is placed on the teacher to provide the love and support students should have as if parents do not need to be accountable. Having teachers is not a reason or excuse for parents to be neglectful and not aspire to be better. Some parents are trying but not all, which hurts kids the most. Regardless of how hard the teacher tries and support them, which we do and enjoy doing it, they'll always wonder why their PARENTS couldn't or wouldn't do the same.
They need the opportunity to learn.
@Micah Burns what are you talking about? I don’t condone abuse. Not graduating ain’t something to be proud of. There just sad and who cares how much money you make? Our currency is worthless
I quit teaching because my immune system got a lot worse, severe Crohn's went nuts in my mid 30s. Worked another 4 years at a desk job. Miss teaching horribly but now on full disability.
I really love this message. This hit early on for me, honestly before I even finished college. My later clinicals were very hard on me, emotionally and physically. My supervisors and I could both tell that I didn't really want to be there and even though I was trying my hardest, it was still pretty obvious that I didn't want to be there anymore. I finally had to sit down with one of my college's upper administrators and ask for help. We basically compromised on some of my classes and I graduated with a very similar degree that still gave me credit for my hard work instead of just starting over. I love working with kids, but there are so many other options that aren't in a classroom.
What other options are there?
Very good message. I think teachers feel guilty when they realize they are just not feeling it in the classroom anymore. I have seen some teachers who would've been much happier had they retired 3 years earlier, but hung on for retirement. They had very unhappy classrooms. Thank you for sharing! ❤️ and hugs to you, Kristin, and Bear! Jennifer
GlitterandJams I agree, as a teachers daughter I see that happening with my mom. She is 5 years away and doesn’t want to give up 30-40% of her retirement. She keeps saying just 5 years.
But Teacher’s like her that put their all into it the job and the kids makes school bearable for the kiddos.
Cassie King I applaud your Mom for hanging in there. There are those dedicated ones that really want to retire, but don't want to lose their benefits with only a few years left to go.
Love this content! I've been teaching for four years and my passion has definitely fell off drastically! I do love teaching and educating people, but 8-9 year old kids that only display disrespect, cry, and roll on the floor when I ask them to finish an assignment (or even put their name on their paper) is starting to become too much! This life is too short to wake up and go to bed each day miserable.
Thanks for the video and wisdom!
Mr. Best I am right there with you. On the age of students and issues. Parents are really the worst aspect of it. Hang in there. Winter break approaches
@@gbrainy Yes that's what I keep telling myself! I've literally spend the majority of the weekend job searching...haha. I do truly have a passion for teaching, but not in this fashion. I want to help educate people that WANT to be there and learn!
Mr. Best, I taught for ten years, and three of those with 8 - 9 year olds. Many (who have never taught school) would not believe what a nightmare a room full of kids that age can be. Of course, there are always the sweet ones. Of course, they are only children and most of them behaving how they were raised. But, cousin, it can be awful. I would end the day simply drained and stressed to the limit. It honestly took a toll on my health.
Hi! It's because their parents teach them to behave like that or they condone that kinda behavior. Today many kids are spoiled little monsters
Nick Carraway leave that job as soon as possible! I was the same . I know it's not easy but try. I'm with u on that
This was the first year where I wasn't excited to start the year. I still love teaching mathematics, which makes it frustrating. I suppose a change to another school might help, but I tried that once and it only works for so long. Then the grind of expectations from admin and other staff start to wear thin. Each year they put one more thing on your plate without taking anything old off, and without giving you the opportunity to refine that practice first. Meh. I am taking a leave of absence next year. Going to apply to be an apprentice electrician.
Teaching (in the public school classrooms) sucks.
I taught College for 8 yrs and High School for 6 yrs. I loved teaching, however, my mental health and principles (attitudes and values) were more important to me and my family 😁
Totally understand.
In my first and only year of teaching, someone attempted to bribe me, I was intimidated by administration, groped by a drunk mom, harassed over the phone and email, falsely accused of sexual harassment, and students and even other teachers spread rumors defaming my character. This was only in a span of 9 months because school was shut down in March. I came in to work every day scared of what would happen next. It started affecting my physical and mental health. I had back pain and was falling asleep while at my desk. I came to work angry and left angrier. I have experience substitute teaching in impoverished inner city schools, and the academic and behavioral problems I witnessed simply made sense. Of course they were scared, frustrated, and hopeless -- their lives were spiritually and materially empty because of poverty, abuse, neglect, etc. But this full-time position was in a wealthy community with a reputation and pride in their schools. These were people that had everything laid out for a privileged, fulfilling life, yet they acted nastier than those with real problems. It took a long time to sort out how I could love and trust people again after knowing what people are capable of. I resigned, moved, and started my own business. I am much happier now and my health has improved.
Thank you for addressing these mistakes head-on. It's refreshing to see someone discussing the challenges teachers face when transitioning careers. Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!
Can anyone tell me where teachers transition to after teaching? I’m considering leaving teaching but what careers would be good?
@Sophia Summer Tutor. Usually it’s a contractor job but you can work your own schedule, and if you’re a licensed teacher they’ll pay you $30 an hour. Way better than teaching. Also look into reading or math intervention in a public school setting. Pulling small groups is usually better than be a classroom teacher.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm in year 20, and I'm still very passionate about what I do. There are people, though, who should have given it up long ago. They aren't doing anything for their students. I'll keep on going until it isn't fun anymore. Even after herding 32 8th graders working on a project in a room the size of a broom closet, I felt good about what had happened in that class. Tired but good!
^^^ WTF are you so mad about?
IKR? Someone says they actually ENJOY educating the next generation, and gets insulted for it?! Bitter or salty, I'm not sure which flavor that one is.
As done as I am with the field, it warms my heart that there are teachers like you out there. I want my children to be taught by teachers who are still passionate, which is why I’m leaving the field. I don’t want to live my life in misery or cheat my students of a good learning experience. I’m truly happy your heart is still in it. Keep going as long as you’re happy! ♥️
this is a very important point, nothin is worse for kids than a teacher who doesnt want to be there. or on the other hand, nothing is better than a teacher who is so passionate about teaching
False. Many things are worse. Especially shitty parents who don't teach their kids to be respectful.
Brooke: I have no doubt that there are still schools out there where students want to learn, making teaching a pleasure for those educators who are passionate to share their knowledge. - However, I know a great many teachers (and former teachers), and the over-whelming majority lost their passion (and illusions) along the way. It is difficult to maintain passion in the face of unrealistic district policies and directives. It is difficult to maintain passion in the face of administrators becoming tyrants as the shit from above forces them to pass their own stress down to their teaching staff. It is difficult to maintain passion when teachers are being whipped like mules to get good test scores - and this from students who would rather be anywhere but school, doing anything other than learning to better read, write, and calculate. It is difficult to maintain passion in the face of a workload that would kill a horse. It is a job not fit for a dog. That is a reality for far too many teachers. And yes, I got out.
It’s sad for the kids though to lose good people like u and others.
This goes for any profession not just teaching. If you don't love what you do then don't stress yourself out over it!
Its easier said than done. You have people who have mortgages, student loans, kids, a family and so on. Its not easy when your middle aged with a family to support to quit whatever endeavor u don't like
True, and the way the job market is these days, by a certain age it's pretty much too late to begin a new career. But I do agree, if you really HATE it (and I've worked w/ some people like this, who didn't care who knew it, including the kids) you need to try to make some changes.
Loving a job is way over rated. No one really loves their job. They do it because they get paid for it and can bare it. Finding something you love is the wrong question. Find someone you can do well and get paid for it.
That's a shitty mentality
@@blainefiasco8225 for real. Some People actually love their jobs
It’s overrated for you ....
Kyle, i could kiss you, These words are exactly what i needed to hear as a soon to be senior in college who is struggling to find direction. THANK YOU
I loved teaching, I did homeschooling and loved it for 10 years. It was so rewarding to see my kids become self-learners and going at their own pace. I worked In a school system and hated what happened there, how they were treated, like it was like a daycare and it's a failed system for both the teachers and the students.
It’s really sad to see. There needs Ronnie big changes to the whole system. Unfortunately there are a lot of admin that don’t really understand how to run a school properly l.
Please, dont teach in UK or come to teach in UK either ! Your life will be destroyed if you come! You will work 70-80 hours a week, no time to even take care of your basic needs. You will be marking books during the weekends and holidays. The money is so bad that you will struggle to pay your own rent and even basics like food, and possibly you will be living in a small seedy room...Also,an increasing number of British teenage students are extremely disengaged, nasty, violent...from spitting at you, throwing cans and all sort of objects, including chairs, to pushing you, including constant shouting and swearing...you will be treated like rubbish and be blamed for it. And no one does anything, they hide it under the carpet or use you as an scape goat. Teaching in UK is glorified babysitting where the kids basically rule like tyrant dictators...Please, stay away! They are just calling you cause no one wants to teach in UK anymore! Its modern slavery! And we urgently need an Education reform!
I teach at my son's high school. He graduates in two years and I will have finished my 20th year teaching. Starting to look at other options if I decide to exit at that time. Thanks for you sharing your thoughts on the subject. I teach Engineering. I have several transferable skills.
Don't judge teachers at the end of their career. It will be YOU in the future, in what ever field you may choose. Remember this
Great advice, sir! I would love to hang out in your coffee shop one day because I know you would always have something insightful and interesting happening. It could be an extension of your mission/ministry in the classroom. All learning doesn't have to happen within the four walls of a classroom. Keep doing what you are doing.
Nice that you love teaching kids. A lot of kids make the job terrible, mostly because their parents are not parenting. The stress and responsibilities are way more than most people can do without suffering. The disrespect from just a few kids in your classroom can wear you down, day in and day out.
I have been debating really hard on becoming a teacher. I am VERY introverted but always felt to have fun around kids. I am just not the type of person to go out there and go hey kids lets do _________. But its just hard because I do not know what else to do :/
Hi! I’m in my first year of teaching and I’ve always loved kids and working with them. Based on this experience it has made me question everything. But one thing I do know is I enjoyed working with kids way more in previous positions than in teaching. There just isn’t the time to really enjoy the time spent with them because you’re constantly trying to get things done, trying to refocus them and ultimately trying to get the students to do work that they simply don’t want to do. There are fun moments and learning can be made fun as well. But it’s not the main thing. You may try it and it may work for you. But there is more fun to be had with children in other capacities than being a classroom teacher in my opinion. Hope you find what you’re looking for and everything works out for you! God bless 😊
In other words.. if you hate your job, hate the kids, hate the other teachers, hate the librarian, hate the crossing guard, hate the lunch lady, hate the principal, hate the aids, Hate the janitor, hate the nurse, hate a few ( but not all) of the parents.. but especially if you hate the kids.. QUIT.
“Is a shhhhhi-a lot of money” NICE SAVE😂
You inspire and motivate me to not feel locked down by a degree of a specific major. You’re right. In this time, there are lots of open opportunities for us to flourish. Also, if you have a passion and experiences for another field, there’s definitely a way to attain it. A degree is enough and open for me to explore it in different fields. Thank you for this.
Maybe find thing in the job that you love so that it doesn’t become boring. Any job can get boring if there’s positive outcomes from it.
I am at 42 years. Gave up coaching XC and Track at 35 . .. rejuvenated me. I have more fun now than ever . . . . .
You restraining yourself from saying "a shit ton of money" 😂 truth
It's at a place where teachers are not even allow to force a behavior children to follow the directions and you're not allow to call for assistance from a assistant principal. This is really the nightmare most American teachers go through and to make matters worst, these administrators give these kids the green light to lie and seek REVENGE on teachers who choose to follow protocol and their parents just side with them. I use to be liberal when I was younger when it comes to the issues of respecting authority, but now that I'm older and in the school districts now, all I can say is if these kids don't learn soon on who and when to respect authority, don't be to surprise by how they're treated if they ever get surrounded by law enforcement, because their job is just as stressful and terrifying.
If every teacher quitting,
then who's gonna teach your children?
Everyone will have to step up and teach their own children. The way it's supposed to be.
Homeschool....
not to worry. many people still looking for jobs.
You do not need to "love" teaching to be a good teacher. If you pursue a career you "love," you will likely reach the end of your life not finding that job.
Oh well.. we are all gonna die. Might as well die trying to be happy, not trapped in a system.
Are you a teacher?
It requires so much sacrifice that you HAVE to at least have passion/ inner conviction
This needed to be said!
Most teachers want to teach. Some are great however, the system is forcing those teachers out of the classroom. Creativity is lacking
I keep coming back to this video. I'm not a teacher but it seems like the only practical job. But just because people say I'm good with kids. But I'm a writer. Nothing else even matters but how sustainable is writing ya know. But teaching is a job and I could probably do it but that's it.
I find this really helpful. I’m in school for Teaching and I have a strong passion for it right now. I’m just afraid that once I graduate and it settles, my fire may burn out, and I don’t want that to happen. I dream of being a teacher, I dream of seeing my kids that I’ll be teaching excited about learning, I dream of working my “dream job” but I do have thoughts that what if it’s a permanent feeling or just temporary. I pray that this is for me, I am glad I watched this video.
I found that I was passionate about teaching for about 8-10 years. I was a great teacher. Afterwards, it became more mundane, and the kids started getting on my nerves. I really didn't enjoy it all that much. After 14 years, I am out of the profession, and to be honest, it's a lot less stressful.
I would like to teach poetry and writing to kids. I do have mental illness. Can I still be a teacher one day?
I think it depends on what mental illness it is
I will suggest don't go into teaching , if you have any other option.... Go for it..... Keep teaching as the last option available
@@ratnasanyal1774 I disagree with you. Teachers teach valuable stuff that needs to be known to be able to succeed. Teachers are very vital to rue coy try and economy.
@@ratnasanyal1774 but I do see your point that’s why I’d like to teach college students and not kids lol
@@norseczar27 That's more okay than teaching kids... I agree
What should we switch to if we've been a teacher ur whole life and all your work experience, education and skills are in teaching. What are we meant to switch to??
Teaching isn't the issue, schooling is. Do not quit, try it differently first. Students feel the same at school. So, do not quit when you are able to understand this.
This hits home for me. Got some surprises coming your way! I love your videos and your candor!
Very well said. I would love to own a Starbucks building one day and receive passive income. I like teaching because of the collaboration and the kids but there is more to life as well. I'm going to give it a couple more years
Teachers should not feel like they love their job everyday. If you are a teacher you are a professional, not a superhuman. You don't have to love your kids. You respect them and help them because you care and because that is your job. Period. Let's not make it more than it is. Teaching is super stressful and difficult, but so are many, many jobs. And you should stay in it if, you can keep your sanity and it is your life means. And just like any job, if you stay in it you should act like a professional. Please stop saying that teachers need to be superhuman caring hearts who love their jobs all of the time. That's just BS.
SOLID advice, Bro. Thanks for the video!
i am very stressed from being a teacher and i am waiting to finish these 2 years to get early retiring but i feel i can't wait any more :(
I’m a pre-service teacher and already feeling burned out in my internships.
Enjoy your videos keep it up !
6 years of high-school teaching at the end of this month. And after the end of next year, I am going to leave teaching. I have done enough, I have been through enough, I have seen enough.
No job is "easy". But the amount of shit teachers have to tolerate, the workplace bullying that occurs in teaching staffrooms and the demands put upon teachers by a moronic society - I am out and I will not look back.
20 year vet- I don’t mind teaching, but I definitely don’t love it
I'm having a crisis at the moment.
I'm about to finish my bachelors in Science and I was going to pursue with a secondary teaching masters right after and become a Science teacher but I've always wanted to be a police officer and I'm struck between the sheer enjoyment of being a police officer or the better lifestyle of a teacher (Compared to a police officer).. UGH can't decide
What did you end up doing ?
How do you feel with distance learning? Has your feeling changed about teaching?
I am not actually in the classroom anymore. But from what I hear it has been really hard on many teachers and students. Not getting the face to face interactions is tough. I pray that we will be able to have normal school in the fall. For the sake of the students and teachers.
59 and trying to survive til retirement. If I could actually teach instead of managing all the behavior issues it would be ok. Just wish I could find something else I could do at this age and actually make a living. Tired of babysitting.
I'm a homeschool mom. I pulled my kid out of public school where she was learning next to nothing. I was trained in secondary ed. In college but never taught. I had road blocks in my way and knew God was telling me something. I was a church youth director instead and I also taught a class on world religion for a while, now I homeschool and hobby farm. They tried to make teaching into a science with tests and grades. Teaching is more of an art. The way the while things are set up in public school students don't really have time to learn anything. I told and old veteran teacher once "thank you for your sacrifice.". It was a verbal slip, she just looked at me strangely. She was not a soldier....right? I think you might appreciate it when I say...thank you for your sacrifice.
Run people, get out of NC. You stay, your kids will be dumb. The kids that grow up in PA and go to college in PA will be YOUR grown kids Boss. If you are a teacher, go to Seattle WA where they pay for your CEU credits. I am making a measly 52,000 a year AFTER I worked for TWENTY YEARS in NC. Seattle pays $79,000 for the my CEU credits for those many years. NC took away Masters pay, EOG pay, Longevity pay, step pay. You do not get that 2 1/2% pay raise every year NC used to give. Starting in 2014, they stopped that. Every FIVE years you work, then you get that two and a half percent pay raise. And there is no teacher union like in PA. Get out NOW. Get away from NC, for YOUR sake, for your CHILDREN'S sake.
I think we were all "fired up" about teaching, just not the mind games, time waste, abuse, and bullshit.
I feel for teachers.The US education system still ranks among the lowest in English, math and science skills scores of all industrialized countries. This has been the case for many years. I don't know the reasons why but I do know not much is being done about it because the lousy rankings still persist. This can have severe negative impacts economically and culturally in the future.
In Canada your next door neighbors, education scores usually rank in the top five. Why don't you look to other countries and see what they're doing differently.
I feel ya, the US education as whole is not in a good place. Too much politics involved at the expense of teachers and students.
Cool video!!
I’m in year 6 and had a good group this year and have friends in my building, so onward I charge!
3 45. Really? There are a gazillion teaching positions out there. I'm really starting to resent young people who think that I need to get out of the way because I've been teaching 35 years. If you're willing to pay my bills I'll retire right now thank you
i teach in aisa and hate it. it's not as easy as you make it seem. make a video that very specifically guides people into leaving teaching, into successfully getting into another field, then i might listen to you.
great message !!
I work as a MS teacher & fucking hate my job. I’m currently dreading going to work tmmr. I wanna be a full time CZcamsr so bad!
Golden words🙌🏼
The title should say "This is why I Quit Teaching"
Myself; I ll have my own reasons
He left after this. Good move. For me I'm out after this year.
How much do teachers make and why do you have to have a bachelor's degree for a job that pays so little. Come on. I think I have the right information based on the comments. But please let me know. I have a chance to choose what to do right now. Anybody? Let me know.
Well said. I know too many teachers that just do it because they're paid. I couldn't quit that easily. We pass an competitive examination and if we quit, it's for ever. There's no turning back ever, unless you pass that exam again, which is insane, because it's really difficult.
You are so cute and creative. The music 🎶 is really cute too.
Because of my mother I enter this job, fuck its so very hard man,
Word.
Man you guys need to master the art of not giving a fuck it works great for yes i despise teaching but hey i make it
I agree with you 100%! Very well said.
I was "FORCED" to retire, well really I was forced to RESIGN. Resign or be FIRED. It's gotten so POLITICAL and LIBERAL. So if you're a conservative or especially a Christian Conservative. DON'T GO INTO TEACHING.
I am so scared. I don’t even know what to do.
Can introverts be good teachers?
thats my question main reason im debating on not getting a degree in teaching
I appreciate your videos.
Thanks for the inspiration
Intro music way too loud
You should quit while you still love it but know the next year will be "too much"....Leave it while you are at your absolute best, but, know you are starting to burn out. The students deserve to have you give your best....or nothing. If you love teaching...if you love your students...you will know when it is time to say goodbye. ( Besides Administration tries to shove out all the older teachers anyway because they can hire two inexperienced teachers for the pay scale one veteran teacher earns. So they start getting on their case no matter how great they are...truth...not exactly something to look forward to but it is the facts)
Linda White listening to this teaches advice was like listening to howdy dowry ramble on. You know what he's saying, but I know that. I can give that advice, and I'm not a teacher. Chow.
they say teachers are those who cant find a job
All of the dull adults you know started out as dull kids so there is really nothing special about kids. So plainly kids do not have unlimited potential. And more to the point, kids who dislike academics should be diverted into trades training to improve their chances of earning a decent living. Flunking out of college does no one any good. Becoming a master plumber just might make you at least half way rich some day. That’s certainly better than flunking out of the local open admissions commuter state university for all the kids living in their parents’ basements. So do you want to be the guy to teach all of the dullards who are not benefiting from school? Of course not. And I just described two-thirds of the kids you’ll see in your classroom if you screw up and decide to waste several years teaching school.
Kristen went to BG?!? I graduated from BG in 2016.
Are you still a teacher?
Oh and loudmouthed teaching assistants,life is too short I'm happier cleaning bogs.
Oh and bitchy know it all teachers
.. I do hope you quit
